Be a Crusader, Be Exceptional has become the daily challenge to our students. Being exceptional is about more than scoring well on an entrance exam and getting good grades.  We recognize and value the contributions of time and talent that our young men demonstrate within their communities. It is within this spirit that Brother Rice High School is pleased to introduce the Be Exceptional Award.

Potential students with a proven track record of being a positive contributor in their local community are encouraged to nominate themselves through this link for this award.
